Pence ― and President Donald Trump ― support the U.K.’s Brexit vote to leave the European Union. During his visit, Pence urged Ireland “to negotiate in good faith with Prime Minister [Boris] Johnson.”

That’s not a popular issue in Ireland, where such an exit is already raising contentious issues, especially over the border with Northern Ireland.

The Guardian called Pence’s visit and comments “awkward.” Irish Central asked in a headline: “Did VP Pence betray Ireland in his Brexit comments during Irish trip?” An Irish Examiner column accused Pence of trying to “humiliate” Ireland.

“The cheek of him coming here, eating our food, clogging up our roads and then having the nerve to humiliate his hosts,” wrote political editor Daniel McConnell.

But some of the harshest criticism came from Lord.

“As Pence read from the autocue and Irish eyes definitely stopped smiling,” she wrote. “it was clear he was channeling His Master’s Voice. Trump is a fan of Brexit and of Boris.”

I don't think Ireland is going to care much that Pence's distant relatives came from Ireland.

5. So he has Irish ancestry, so f**ing what! So do 45 million other Americans

He goes over and supports Boris, seemingly unaware that a hard Brexit risks bringing back the Troubles as well as screwing over the Irish economy. And he stays in a tRump property rather than in a locally-owned hotel.
He's chosen his side and it ain't an Irish one.
